  1. Odd that we always know the solution is Gurbani and yet we seek other so called easy answers. Sigh...
    Odd that we get annoyed if we have to say that more than a few times...

    Ji, sometimes the 'taunting' can be a blessing in disguise. Understand?

    It may do some great good to the other. So sometimes, just let things be.

    And you just try to 'BE'. Just BE. :p

    Maybe I should just try to SEE instead :p

  2. Oh yea we're the idiots with your name being Big Punjabi.. I wish a picture of each person was mandatory on this site so we can see you and quickly disregard your post. Go buy more shaving blades.

    Well clearly he took it as a major offense...lol

  3. Raag kirtan is the purest form of kirtan as prescribed by Guru Sahibaan themselves. Sadly the practice of singing in Raag has diminished to a large extend and doing so still. Efforts have been made in the past (even on going) to preserve this Gurmat tradition by Gurmukhs such as Late Bhai Avtaar Singh Jee, Bhai Balbir Singh Jee, Dr Gurnaam Singh Jee and many more. Additionally Jawaddi Taksaal is famous for carrying out a raag samagam every year during the winter months. I have personally talked to a few raagi's and asked why they are deviating from raags (they clearly had deep knowledge of raags) and the reply I got was that sangat does not want to listen to raags anymore...

  4. It might be common for weddings to be performed late afternoon and evenings among the bhatra community in India but it certainly isn't something that would ever be tolerated by the jatt sikh community both in India and abroad
    That pretty much sums up your level of thinking :rolleyes:
    Never in my life heard the term 'janj' before yesterday
    You need to get out more son!
  5. The evolution theory was made up by a bunch of freemasons to curb peoples faith in god and make the world even darker than it already was.
    Right, let's just ignore all the fossil evidence we have that supports the theory :6 The latest consensus is that there was/is a "guiding hand" behind evolution...Can you not even consider the possibility that God started and drove evolution?
  6. Oh, I feel stupid now. Just read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentils. I used to think daal is 60% carbs and ~30% protein. But I just read the breakdown and of the half of the 60% is fiber :o So really, daal is ~30% carbs, ~30% fiber, ~30% protein. Now that is a super food :D If that was not enough, daal tastes GOOOODDDD :L:

    I used to have lots of tofu, but I have pretty much given it up now. Don't want extra estrogen going into my body.

  8. didnt read it nywhere. jst because modern science dnt knw stuff dnt mean its untrue. give u an example. modern science says that have sex good for u because increases testosterone which is good to get u big and strong.. right? bt it actually decreases strength and stamina(obv also affects mind). nyway who cares jst do bhagti. but protien shakes are bad dnt get hung up about them. jst because science say its good dnt mean its good.

    Studies have been done that prove that with in 24 hours after sex people are back to 100% strength and stamina. If protein were bad for you then having a bowl of daal would be bad for you as well. 100g of daal will have around 26g of protein, a scoop of protein typically has 27g.

    Testosterone does not make you big, if that were the case than every guy that did resistance training would be huge. It's really excess testosterone makes you big and strong. Men need testosterone just like women need estrogen. Oh and protein and testosterone are two completely different things.

    Having said that, I always advocate getting protein from dietary sources and avoiding protein shakes as much as possible. This works for those of us who do not have to worry about getting fat, i.e. the original poster. Such persons can get enough protein from daal and milk, provided they eat enough, which again should not be a problem as the aim is to gain weight. For other's like me who can not afford to gain fat, we need a source of food high protein and low in carbohydrates. Being a vegetarian, my options are pretty limited here. so protein shake does the trick. If I were a meat eater then I would have only 1 protein shake a day, just before my workout.

    as you want to put on weight you would need to increase your protein uptake. you would need to consume around 1.2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight to put on muscle mass. that would be almost impossible to do without a protein shake. granted that protein shakes are synthetic, but there is no real alternative. CNP Promass is a good shake to have as it has a good protein content aswell as carbs which as mentioned in previous posts help to put weight on.
    The minimum requirement is 1g or protein per pound of body weight. Remember that you will get protein from your regular diet as well. So it's not like you will be having 150g of protein in shakes if you weigh 150lbs. Also, make sure you exercise intensely if you are taking lots of protein. By that I don't mean spending 1 hr /day on the boring treadmill jogging. I mean exercise so intense that you only stop because your lungs simply can not keep up with the exertion you are putting your body through.
  9. OK, I'll grant you that. On the other hand, the examples of famous (and ordinary) people, as well as our Gurus, should shame some of our overgrown babies into growing up.

    You can't really do anything for someone who's already that age, but for one's own children you can start early teaching them everything about life.

    lol I'm almost 26 and have no intention of getting married anytime soon so I don't have to worry about this for a while. But I do see where you are coming from :)
